Heatsoak on the CAI...fail for using something metallic. Other than that, the mods are nice but I would loose the ricer-ish hoses under the hood....kinda makes it a visual clusterfuck under the hood.

No heatsoak on the CAI, theres a heatshield over the tranny to prevent some heat from the crossover getting to it.

... The charge pipe coming from the FWI is still metal from what I glean from the pics. You think most of the grand volume of heat produced in the engine bay is blocked by the flimsy piece of metal that surrounds the crossover pipe? Oh yeah, the metal charge pipe isnt really affected by any of that heat because there's a shield there .
